My mom sent this family photo of me ca. age 11. I realize the only time I ever feel this content as an adult is when I’m hiking on trails with my partner, taking photographs. But life in the Bay Area forces me to focus on how I will pay rent every month, how I can be productive. Life in America doesn’t value creative endeavors. This reminds me how much my life is out of alignment. May we all find this happiness somehow. #ArtistLife
